Abstract
The flow mechanism of two-phase confined vortex flow in a vortex chamber has been investigated experimentally. The control technique for the swirling bubbly flow along the outer wall was established experimentally. It was confirmed that the annular liquid flow was formed by controlling the separated liquid flow rate from the exhaust holes of the outer wall and by adjusting the location of the annular exhaust slit. It was also found that the scale of bubbles was larger at the middle part of the swirling liquid region, and that the distribution of the impact pressure was disturbed near the exhaust slit. The data obtained here could be useful for developing various vortex chambers accompanying the gas-liquid two-phase swirling flow.
